Hi,
I am a new user to DB2. I am running the DB2 Enterprise Edition v8.1 on a Windows XP OS. I had 8.1 earlier and had installed 8.2 when my system started giving me this error.
Now I am back to version 8.1 but the problem seems to have followed me.
The entire error code had been given below for reference.

12-03-2004 12:10:03 0 0 SQL1032N No start database manager command was issued. SQLSTATE=57019

This error comes up when I give the "db2start" command at the command line prompt.
I am sure that this might seem like something simple for a lot of you but as a beginner I am stumped.
I have tried going through to the services under administrative tools and start it as well. It gives me an error there as well.
Not at all a priority issue but I would apprecaite it whenever it is resolved since it is holding me up right now.
I thank everyone who even looks at this post and also if you try to resolve it.
Best regards,
Mayank

Hi Mayank,

Can you please post us a snapshot of the db2diag.log which should be found under the sqllib directory.

That should give us some reason. Also check for the event log under windows eventlog for any clues. Post that also if available.

Hopefully we should be able to diagnose something from it.

Hey Nitin,
Thanks for looking into my problem. I realized that the evaluation period for my edition had expired and that was the reason it was not letting me start the DB2 instances and the DAS.
I re-intalled a licensed version and now it is working fine.
Guess I am still a doofus when it comes to technicalities
Sorry for taking your time.
Much appreciated.

Below is the excerpt from the DB2diag.log if you are still interested:

SQL8008N The product "DB2 Enterprise Server Edition" does not
have a valid license key installed and the evaluation period
has expired. Functions specific to this product are not enabled.

Thanks a lot though for looking into my post.

Use db2licm -l command to check the licence period.
